History is just a way of keeping score, but it doesn't have to be who we are.

About This Quote

History is just a way of keeping score, but it doesn't have to be who we are. Sometimes people believe that history is the story of the people that happen to be alive at a given time. They can't imagine that other people may have been alive at the same time and may have made a difference in the lives of other people. It's a common misconception that there were no other important things going on during their lives because they weren't alive when they happened.
